Uploader not uploading

Jonszegota

Hi, I've installed uploader for the first time on Vanilla (2.1.8) and though everything seems fine when I try to upload even the smallest file or image (20-50Kb) all I get is the "Barbers Pole" running endlessly. The permissions are all 755(folders) and 664 (files). Any ideas where to go on this. I am not a developer or programmer, just an amateur.

the uploads folder needs permission of at least 775 or 777

You can also try checking out this previous file upload post solution, maybe you got a similar issue here..

That fix is what gave birth to Uploader plugin.

If you like just use FileUpload and apply the fix to that plugin . Both plugins are the same except one works for most people and the other does not....unless you apply peregrine's fix.

Or better yet , wait for 2.2 to upload files...

Thanks both, while waiting for a reply I tried ImageUpload and had no problems getting that running. Used permissions as stated in my original request for help. I won't persevere with Uploader unless you recommend it as being better than Uploader. Is the FileUpload plugin in the plugins available pages?
Thanks again for your help
